State Taxes Soon Due.
Aus in Statesman.

The first of January is near at hand aud
the attention of all having property liable
to taxation under the state laws are
called to fhe following paragraph from
article 474S of the new laws, that reads
as follows: eff any person shall fail or
refuse to pay the taxes imposed upon
him or his property by law, until the FIRST
day CT Janusry mex succeeding the re-
turn Of the assessment roll of the county
to the Comptroller, the collector Of taxes
shall by virtue of his tax roll, seize and
levy upon and sell SO much per-
sonsl property, belonging to such person,
as may be sun clent to pay his taxes, to-
gether with all Costs accruing thereon"
This new law compelling in fact the pay
ment of two sets of taxes in one, and this
same year, coming at this tine OF general
business depression, falls, and must fall
very hard, upon all, not excluding some
of our best fixed business people. But
unfortunately it is the law, and must be
enforced, and warning of impending
trouble unless these taxes are soon paid,
is thus and hereby given.

NO ANTAGONIST.

THE GAZETTE Is pleased to see othel
public ,urnals of the state acting on the
suggestion of this paper. that the presen,
movement of the people in behalf of the
state is not born Of hostility to
railroads. From the beginning Of
this agitation THE GAZETTE has
combstted the insinuations of certain
newspapers that the movement was in
tended to antagonize railroads. Nsces.
sarilv, the action of both railroads and
people have been subjects of comment,
for each WAS inclined to throw the respon.
sibility on the other. Both have
failed in their duty. and to ad.
NIT this is to recognize the necessity OF
doing in the present and future what has
been left undone in the past.
No newspaper in Texas has been more
bitterly abused for its friendliness to
railroads than THE GAZETTE, and It's eff
forts now are for the common interest OF
railroads and people.
THE GAZETTE repeats its qualification
that certain pubic journals have become
advocates of cooperation. Corporation,
not anisgonism, is the need of Texas.

a GREAT NECESSITY.

]. L Rankin Of Michigan thus writes of
the need of fractional currency: "YOu
will no doubt agree with me when I say
that it would be great convenience to
the poor If We could have fractional cur
rency or silver certificates that could be
used in the mails without danger of work
ing through the envelope, say at the rate
OF five dime pieces to each family in the
United States. I think many people
would send for papers at once when they
read about it, whereas if they wait until
they can get postage stamps it is neg
lected. A thousand other things msy be
sent for by various persons. 1t is q postal
note without the cost. The people often
wish to obtain little things through the
mails. have before me spring csta-
logue Of dealer in trees who offers 100
sugar maple trees delivered at any post
Office in the United States, fresh and in
good condition, for the small SUM of
three dimes, and twenty other varieties
are from three to FIVE dimes per 100
trees. Times have become SO stringent
that dealers are Offering great bargains
for the value of bushel of wheat. But
II farmer wishes to send for 100 trees,
for illustration, he pays for q postal note
8 cents, 8 rate Of 6 per cent, and if he
does this for some other article next
month and 80 for each Emonth, he
pays So cents per year TO send so cents
each month. I feel quite certain that
you could obtain many subscribers If we
had fractional currency. II you and
your numerous readers would agitate this
question, and write to the congressman,
this important and useful matter might
be arranged"

Odious Comparisons.


The manufacturing nations Of the world
that admit wool and other raw materials
free Of tax sre France, England, Ger
many, Austria, Hungary, Italy, the Meth
erlands, Belgium, Portugal, Sweden,
Denmark and Chill. Some Of these ma
tiuns are protectionist, and some are free
trade. Nearly all of them are large wool
growers, but they are not guilty of the
economic folly of handspring their
own wooden Industries By barbarous
taxes upon the raw materials.
Among the nations that tax wool and
other re" materials are the Uaited States,
Russis, Roumsnia, Servls, Spain, Canada,
Mexico, Brazil, Turkey, Cnini and Peru.
From an economical point of view it
must be admitted that this country is
found In rather bad company. Poor
Spain has protected her industries nearly
out of existence, and az for the rest OF
these wool-tarlff associates Of the United
states-well, as Dogberry remarked ::

ever known save in 1886, when the total

in price as proof of the effect produced by
the slight reduction of duties In the Forty
seventh Congress. How. then, does Il e
as. ociation account for the enormous i'm
oortations Of wool Ia 1872 and 1880, when
both the prices and the duties were
higher?
In the circular statistics are presented
to show the disastrous effects of the dis
eliminating rates of duty imposed upon
~oolen and worsted goods. These I'M
ust determinations were made in 1867 by
protectionist Congress. and they were
repealed in 1883 by the Keifer Congress,
which was supposed to have the
manufacturing interests OF the coun-
trY under its peculiar charge
Secretary Fairchild, in his report,
earnestly invokes the attention of Con-
gress to this suhj-ct, and IN doing so be
says that "there Is much reason to be-
lieve that the manufacture Of worsted
goods must soon cease in this country
unless the tariff law in this regard shall
be amended" Yet when it Is proposed
TO remove this and other iniquities Of the
tariff system cry is raised all along the
protective line that the purpose is to in
troduce "free trade"
II wool should be admitted free OF duty
and the rates upon woolens and worsted
goods should be reduced to similarly
equitable Level, tina manufacturers of both
would have no just cause of complaint.
But the advocates and benefciaries Of the
tariff system as it stands, who have no in
terest in this matter, will not permit any
of its abuses to be touched by profaue
hands, lest the wrongs by which they
profit should also be disturbed. The
wooden and Worsted manufacturers are
discovering that the tariff ring is their
oppressor, and that their true interest
lies in the direction of revenue reform to
which President Cleyeland's message
blazes the way.
